So i did an oil change for a buddy on his 4.7 v8 jeep. Talked him into going synthetic because these engines are [censored] to begin with. Spilled a little bit on my floor and threw some absorbant kitty litter on it. went back to clean it up a few days later and was surprised by the consistancy...

Delving into the truck/ tow rig territory after selling the woefully unreliable bmw 330xi. Didn't get too much as resale is also quite pitiful on those so I'm looking in the $12-15k range. We just bought our first house so a truck i know will come in handy and i do like to occasionally tow. So...

So I'm running the first extended OCI for my moms 2005 outback 2.5na to provide her with a little more convenience and synthetic protection. There was a good deal on Edge 5w-30 back in december so i jumped on it, including a Pure 1 filter. Fast forward about 4k miles to when i saw her again...
